HQ MILTON WISH LIST

EVERY SO OFTEN (OK, WAY TOO OFTEN) I CHECK IN WITH MY FRIEND'S AT HQ MILTON TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ROLEX INVENTORY THEY HAVE. I AM NEVER DISAPPOINTED. BELOW IS MY CURRENT WISH LIST FROM THEIR SITE. 

WHITETAIL HUNT

A NICE FIVE POINT WHITETAIL WAS TAKEN OFF WILLIAM BROWN FARM LAST SUNDAY (AS WELL AS A COUPLE SQUIRRELS FOR A GAME PIE CRAFTED BY ARCHIVAL CLOTHINGS' OWN TOM BONAMICI). SO AFTER THE DEER WAS FIELD DRESSED IT WAS OFF TO MY UPSTATE PROCESSOR GARY AT KRANTZ'S KUSTOM MEATS. GARY HAS PROCESSED PIGS FOR ME IN THE PAST AND IT IS SUCH A PRO OPERATION. JUDGING BY THE LAST PIC IT WAS EPIC FIRST WEEK FOR HUNTERS NEAR ME UPSTATE NY.

CELEBRATORY WHISKEY'S

HOLY GRAIL:WADING JACKET

THESE ARE GETTING SO HARD TO COME BY (CHEAPLY) AND I CAN'T BELIEVE BARBOUR EVEN STOPPED MAKING THEM. IT IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FLY FISHING JACKET. I OWN TWO, ONE LARGER TO LAYER WARM CLOTHES UNDERNEATH AND THIS MORE FITTED SMALL THAT I JUST ACQUIRED. KEEP A LOOK OUT.

THE X FACTOR

MY GOOD FRIENDS AT HANK'S IN UPSTATE NY SENT ME THESE AUSTRALIAN MERINO WOOL LONG JOHNS TO TEST RUN THIS HUNTING SEASON. I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH FLEECEY TECHNICAL GEAR (THANKS TO MY BUDDIES WITH THE HOOK UP) AND I HAVE TO SAY NOTHING BEATS WOOL AS THE LIGHTEST, WARMEST AND MOST COMFORTABLE OF FABRICS FOR LONG UNDERWEAR. I HAVE JUST SPENT TWO DAYS IN THE WOODS (SITTING, WAITING FOR WHITETAIL) IN THESE IN 30 SOMETHING DEGREE MORNINGS AFTER A SWEATY HIKE IN AND MY CRITIQUE OF THE WOOL X FOR MY BASE LAYER IS A MAJOR THUMBS UP. BESIDES WHAT I SAID BEFORE ABOUT THE MANY BENEFITS OF MERINO, I LIKE THAT THESE ARE BLACK, THE CUTS ARE GREAT AND MOST OF ALL I AM SUPPORTING MY PEEPS IN UPSTATE NY.
